Things to do at Hwange Safari Lodge
The highlights at Hwange Safari Lodge are the guided night or daytime game drives. If you don’t feel like venturing into the bush, you can simply enjoy the parade of animals visiting the waterhole. A nearby pottery village offers unique gifts to take home. While staying at Hwange Safari Lodge, you can also visit the nearby Dete, to visit their animal sanctuary for the well-known “painted dogs”.
Game Viewing
Hwange Safari Lodge offers comfort, modern conveniences and the opportunity to experience the real African wild. Guests soon learn that this is the home of the wildlife they have come to see but that they, and the Lodge, are guests of the real owners of the land, the elephants, rhino, lions and giraffes.
Hwange is all about wildlife, so game drives with expert guides are the order of the day at Hwange Safari Lodge. These can be enjoyed at night or in daytime but always in the care of expert guides.
Early morning or late afternoon going into evening, are the best times to view wildlife in their domain. Make no mistake, it is their domain which is why expert guides are essential for the game drives.
On-site viewing platform and waterhole
To top it all off, the lodge's water-hole provides a great view of game from each room, the restaurant, pool area and the viewing deck. While guests enjoy a long, cold “Sundowner”, they watch the trek to the water-hole by a rare mix of game from the impish impala to the majestic elephant for their end of day drink.
Hwange National Park Wildlife
Africa is the home of the safari, and Zimbabwe is the home of Hwange National Park, a wildlife conservancy famous the world over for its size and its wildlife population of buffalo, zebra, giraffe, all the big cats, hyena, wild dog, rhino and the world’s biggest elephant population.
The park occupies 14,650 square kilometres of unspoilt African bush and is managed by a National Parks Service whose rangers are some of the best in the field. They know the park, its flora and fauna and its inhabitants intimately.
